Getting Started With Zoom

A recording of a "Getting Start with Zoom" workshop, from June 2020.

This session is intended for individuals who have limited experience with Zoom (beginners).

Zoom is a web conferencing platform that can be used for a variety of online-based meetings, presentations, events, and academic purposes (including teaching!).

• Scheduling a Zoom session
• The difference between Host (instructor) and Participant (student) controls
• Different options for view settings
• Audio and Video settings, including muting/unmuting mic and camera
• In-meeting security tools
• Screen-sharing for PowerPoint presentations and other visual aids
• Using a variety of non-verbal feedback tools with your students
• How to start a Breakout room*
• How to run a Poll*
